It is especially well known for its tight, coordinated schooling behavior, with larger groups often swimming together as a synchronized unit across the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRummynose Tetras are peaceful community fish but prefer mature, stable aquariums with warm, soft, slightly acidic water. Their red facial coloration can become noticeably paler when fish are stressed or water conditions deteriorate, while healthy, settled specimens typically develop much stronger red coloration. They should be maintained in a proper school to encourage confidence, natural behavior, and their impressive group display. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful \/ Active \/ Schooling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurchase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 gallons recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–81°F\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5–7.0\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Group Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 or more \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e A mature, well-established aquarium with plenty of horizontal swimming room is ideal. Provide live plants, driftwood, darker substrate, and areas of subdued lighting while maintaining open space for the school to swim. Stable water quality is particularly important with Rummynose Tetras. Keep them with other peaceful species that thrive under similar warm, soft-water conditions. Feed quality flakes or micro pellets supplemented with appropriately sized frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rummynose Tetras naturally vary in size, sex, and coloration.
